We have stayed at many B&B's over the years but this was the best so far. Recently redecorated, very clean & a quiet air conditioner. The view was lovely. Big confortable bed, big windows with a crank out to let in fresh air. Beautiful and well maintained gardens. The breakfast is continental which was a surprise & should have been noted during the reservation process. B&B's usually have a wonderful breakfast with the owners but very informal here. Cold food...cereal & fruit. The overall atmosphere made up for this however. Check in was easy & friendly. We will visit again.

I recently stayed at the Ojai Retreat for 3 days for a staff retreat with 19 of my colleagues. The location was wonderful and the grounds immaculate. The rooms were beautiful, unique and well-maintained. The office staff, gardeners and cleaning staff were friendly and polite; everyone at the Ojai Retreat went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. It was wonderful to find so many peaceful spots on site to reflect or gather as a small group. Our group booked the entire retreat space and really enjoyed having the kitchen space to prepare and share meals together and to have the large, comfortable meeting space. The prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend the Ojai Retreat to small organizations for a retreat.

I grew up in Ojai, California and came back for a brief visit. I wanted to show the beauty of the valley to my boyfriend. We stayed in a magnificent room --- the valley spread out before us. At dawn, we awoke and could see the sun breaking over the ridges, the tiny wisps of pink light and clouds gathering in the mouth of the valley. I would recommend this place to anyone who prefers beauty to cable TV. There are no TVs in the room --- just the awesome nature in front of you.

The Ojai Retreat was a great find. It is very friendly but not intrusive, quite, has lovely gardens, incredible views, near the best restaurant in town without the drive, and an European flavor. ~ Cathy
